Georges,

I mean that I can actually get backwards. There was so much slop in my prop that I needed to get to at least mid range RPMs to get any thrust in reverse. Often the prop would not properly unfold either. I sent it to Martec for a rebuild but the metal was sufficiently pink that they could not guarantee the integrity of the prop if it was re-built. So I bought a new one. Immediately I noticed reduced vibration and real thrust at idle in reverse. Way easier to get out of my slip. Which I do entirely in reverse. Yes I am satisfied with the performance of the prop. Have not gotten into nearly as much trouble getting in and out of the slip since it was replaced.
